THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
THE SENATE DEBATES THE SUB
JECT IN SECRET SESSION.

A Resolution Adopted Advising the Pres
ident to Negotiate fog Concessi ions
from the Government of Nicaragua
for tho Building of Canal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l2-The senats was
in executive session for almost two hours.
1t had under discussion resolution re-
ported the other day from the committee on
foreign relations, advising the president to
enter into ne gotiations, through the medium
OF treaty. for concession for the construc-
tion OF Nicaragua canal under the pro-
lection OF this government. This is u ques-
tion which has been discussed in executive
and in open session for several years. 1t
brought up all the possible phases of trouble
it could assume, and the feasibility Of
the government interesting itself in such
enterprise was debated at great length.
There were serious objections offered, and
the senate was warned by the opponents Of
the proposition against such action, as it
might precipitaJe international complica-
tions and cause more trouble and expense,
possibly war, than it would b, worth.
Mr. Edmunds. who last week reported with
favorable recommendation a Nicaraguan
bill from the committee on foreign rela-
tions, conducted the debate in favor of the
resolution, which was finally adopted. A
motion was then made to take up the ex-
tradition treaty with Great Britain, pend
ing which the senate adjourned

A POOL ILLEGAL.
An ImpOrtant Decision by tho Massn'
chusetts Supreme Court.

BOSTON, Jan. IA decision has been
given by the supreme court in the cass OF
the Central Shade Roller company against
Charles H. Cushman. Tbs plaintiff COM
pany was mad. up of the principal manu-
facturers Of shade rollers in this country,
who entered into an agreement that none
OF them should sell shade rollers at any
thing less than an agreed price; that re-
turns of all sales should be made to the
company. and the profits should be divided
pro rata. Tho effect of this agreement
was, of course, to prevent competition in
the sale OF a necessary article OF common
use or, in other words, to create a '"pool," F."
which should control such sales and deprive
the public of the benefits of such compati-
ton. Defendant having sold his shade
rollers at a less price than that fixed by
the ''combine," was proceeded against by a
bill in equity, in which the company asked
tnat he be compelled to account to them for
his sales, and b. restrained from further
violations of the argeement A demurrer
was filed: in which it was claimed that
plaintiff was not entitled to relief, because
the agreement upon which the suit was
based was one in restraint of trade and
against public policy. This demurrer has
now been sustained by the full court, upon
the grounds stated.

by Thomas F. Meany. who charg ID

were fined $50 each, and the bonds on the
appeal, which is expected to be taken

his decision said he was clearly Of opinion
that conspiracies designed to hinder any
ran from putting his labor On the market
when, where and for such compensation as
he may agres for, is equally criminal with
any conspiracy designed to hinder the sale
of the merchandise Of any producer or
dealer, and is more disastrous in effect than
any other form Of conspiracy, except that
